6 Octalysis Prime Members in Guru Top 100
Every month, Rise Global (rise.global) calculated and published the Gamification Gurus Power 100 — a community-driven leaderboard ranking the world’s top gamification practitioners. (Rise Global has since shut down.)
Exciting news! 9 members of Octalysis Prime made the Top 100, with Yu-kai taking #1. This reflects the power of the Octalysis Framework community — a live example of Core Drive 5: Social Influence & Relatedness, where members inspire and elevate each other to world-class performance.
Members include Ercan Altug Yilmaz, An Coppens, Rob Alvarez Bucholska, Joris Beerda, Sabrina Bruehwiler, Albert Van Der Meer, Tiago Marinho Sizenando, and Mike Finney!
This news came just after Yu-kai’s strong performance at the UK Gamification conference, where he was voted #1 Gamification Guru by his peers. (The original Octalysis Group blog post is no longer available.)
About the Creator of the Octalysis Framework

As a Human-Systems Architect & Behavioral Designer, his framework has been applied by LEGO, Microsoft, Porsche, Coca-Cola, Salesforce, and MrBeast, impacting over 1.5 Billion Users.
Chou has taught the Octalysis methodology at Harvard, Stanford, Yale, Tesla, Google, BCG, and IDEO.
